American Black Pudding

Put a quart of small berries, such as blue or elderberries, into a saucepan with one breakfast cupful of sugar and a pint of water, cooking until the berries are done; then cut a small loaf into thin slices, butter them well and put a layer of them at the bottom of a pie dish, pour over a small quantity of the berry mixture, and fill up the dish in this manner. Place in a cool spot, and when it is thoroughly cold serve with cream and sugar.
